	of superimposed displays. This is not a
	malfunction.
	● The picture may roll up and down. This can
	be corrected if your TV has the V-HOLD
	control function.
	● The counter and tape remaining time readings
	will be incorrect.
	● During search, still, or frame-by-frame
	playback, the picture will be distorted, and
	there may be a loss of colour.
